 Great DVD, CD, Jpeg and mp3 player! November 27, 2008
I purchased this very inexpensive DVD player as my older Samsung unit would not play jpeg disks or mp3 files. With the supplied HDMI cable, hookup is as simple as plugging one end of the cable into the unit and the other into the flat screen TV. The image quality is spectacular--I never expected my digital pics to look so good! For the $60 or so I paid for this unit, it is a fabulous bargain. I'm sure you can spend more for a unit with lots of bells and whistles, but if you want an inexpensive, simple unit that does a super job with all formats--you cannot go wrong here.....by the way, I have taught university physics and optics so I'm not a total amateur in the area.
 Sleek light and almost invisible November 23, 2008
Not a bad player for the price. Both picture and sound quality are pretty good. Most frustrating for me is the eject button on it so putting a DVD/CD or removing it is a pain and very very slow. Also I prefer silver color not black. The remote is a joke. The whole device looks very fragile, but I am a minimalist by nature so its perfect for me.
Great player, Bad remote ontrol November 17, 2008
This player works great. So far there are no problems with it. It also plays movies that i was unable to play on a different dvd player. The only problem i have with this player is the remote control. I mean it looks and feels cheap. But really it doesnt work that great when you press it. I have to press play a few times before it actually goes on while another time there are no probems. But when you do get the movie on, the quality of the movie is great.
GOOD 'N' CHEAP November 16, 2008
I only buy a component when I absolutely have to. Usually, they cost to much money for the requirements I place on said component so I save and scrimp and work a little overtime until I have enough cash. I dont like the idea of credit or credit cards (THANKS DAVE RAMSEY.COM). I want to OWN what I buy and I only want to buy once. These days above the curve happens every 10 seconds so I threw in the towel and aimed at one point in time, saved my money and bought this Phillips upconverter. It does everything it says it does easily but I found it to be a tad slow to power up and load a DVD. USB works as advertised with same speed issue. I am know to be impatient with new family members so take it as you like. It looks smart in piano black, works good and doesn't make alot of dam noise to do it. The remote is small but if your like me you don't care as long as it has EVERY function available on it and my universal can learn it. So far, again, This little whit/grey/bland remote performs its functions with one bump, direction, angle and distance restrictions. With new batteries I found myself having to find the correct trajectory to lob its old, infrared signal to the DVD unit. My universal hasen't been used yet. I would get the next up-version with the ability to play all media formats of video through USB. This little guy won't do it all but almost. happiness is.
Cut up your credit cards and save your hard earned cash, then buy the next model up if you can wait for the price to drop [...].
The economy will thank you and your financial future will start to look a bit more clear and less of a burdon.
Thanks for reading.
